Team DIRECTVAPOR is fighting for your right to vape, and this team of sponsored MMA athletes is proving to be clearly unstoppable. With a nice round of victories, we want to send a huge shoutout to Freddy Assuncao, Andrew Whitney, and Sabah Homasi for their well-deserved and respected wins.

Team DIRECTVAPOR MMA has really been loading up on wins as of late, and we are so proud of all of our sponsored MMA athletes! This past Friday, during Titan FC 40, our three sponsored fighters made a killing, with all three coming out of the cage as winners at the event which went down at the BANKUNITED Center in Coral Gables, Fl. We are especially proud of the ferociously talented Freddy Assuncao, who not only defeated his opponent, Gesias Cavalcante during their match, with a technical submission via a guillotine choke, but also took home the lightweight title as a result. Go Freddy!

Other notable moments of the evening came when DIRECTVAPOR MMA-sponsored Andrew Whitney put down an upset victory against Anderson Dos Santos to come out on top, and securing himself a spot during the finals set for next month. Laying down weighty punches, in the second round at the 3:28 point, the ref put an end to the match, signaling a victory for Whitney. Aiming for the Bantamweight/ 135 lb championship, Whitney proved he has the courage, determination, and skill to fight his way to the top of this sport.

We are also very impressed by the fighting skills displayed by Sabah Homasi, DIRECTVAPOR’s third sponsored fighter of the event who dueled his way to victory. Defeating Jorge Patino with a killer TKO by punches in the second round, it took the “The Punisher” a mere 1:18 into this round to claim himself another win for his MMA resume.

So, congrats to all who’ve fought for the vape fam. We are full of gratitude and awe for these guys who go out there with absolute determination, and manage to come out on top after fighting equally skilled opponents. Go TEAM DIRECTVAPOR!

VaporFi is a brand that is all about the vape community, and one of their most interesting endeavors has been in sponsoring select MMA fighters who represent what this culture, and this brand do best: exist with total passion and determination. As this brand has made it their mission to make vaping as easy, enjoyable, stylish and as exciting as possible, teaming up with the best fighters has enabled them to make an even stronger impact. VaporFi-sponsored MMA athletes exemplify the brand’s mission, and partnering in such a way has been an incredible way to expand their reach, further captivate their customer base, and support another growing industry in the process.

With their latest campaign, FIGHTING FOR OUR RIGHT TO VAPE, VaporFi has made it clear, that their customers come first. So why sponsor MMA fighters? Because this brand is on a quest to lead this industry, and partnering with fighters who have been deemed worthy, matching their level of determination and drive has helped them to push the message that much further. Not just any MMA athlete can get the chance to wear VaporFi colors. This brand is extremely discerning when it comes to those representing them, and they make a concerted effort to work with those who demonstrate an infinite desire for success in their field, unquestionable character, and total commitment; just as VaporFi does when it comes to ensuring you have the freedom to vape as you please.

We would like to take a moment, on behalf of our always badass brand VaporFi, to say congrats to Brian Foster and Luis Palomino on their stunning wins as they repped VaporFi in the MMA World Series of Fighting, as well as to Brandon Girtz for his stunning knockout during the Bellator MMA event on the very same night. It was a big night for all of us! We are super proud of these warriors, and are thrilled to have had the opportunity to sponsor them during this exciting time.

VaporFi has become one of the hottest names in the vapor products industry and lifestyle because they represent not only the pinnacle of products and quality, but also they have made a name for being exceptionally dynamic and offering customers more and more reasons to be a part of their unique #VapeFam. Being involved in the community, both locally where VaporFi shops are located, as well as being nationally represented by providing sponsorships on the world stage, has allowed this incredible brand to extend its reach, and make a great name for themselves. Representing the cutting edge population of this industry, we are incredibly proud of what VaporFi is doing.

One of the most exciting things VaporFi has been up to as of late, in their many exciting exploits, is sponsorship of a variety of the top fighters on the professional MMA/ fighting circuit, and this past weekend, on Friday, November 20, Brandon Girtz, Brian Foster, and Luis “The Baboon” Palomino, three of the best fighters on the scene right now and all represented by VaporFi, put out all the stops to come out on top in their respective matches.

#TeamVaporFi is hotter than ever. These guys really outdid themselves. We are beyond stoked to be representing them!

This coming Saturday, October 17, International Vapor Group’s very own VaporFi will be proudly sponsoring Light Heavyweight MMA fighter Vinny Magalhaes in his fight in the decagon cage against Matt “the Hammer” Hamill during the World Series of Fighting. This should prove to be a most exciting event, as Vinny is aiming to score his third consecutive victory. Live from the Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, CT, it’s going to be one action-packed MMA evening. The fight will be broadcast on NBC Sports, at 8 pm EST, so we highly encourage you to tune in as one of the most dynamic fighters currently fighting reps VaporFi.

Also known as “Pezao,” Vinny Magalhaes is one the world’s best MMA fighters. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Vinny holds a vast collection of prestigious and exclusive titles to his name. Many consider him to be the best grappler in the world. He holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu, and is a national champion in his native Brazil for the sport. Other major titles he has acquired include winning the Ultimate Fighter TV Show (season 8), M-1 MMA champion, which is the biggest promotion in Russia, and presently, Vinny is the champion of Titan Fighting Championships. He was also among the exclusive list of invitees during the last ADCC, which is a private event owned and hosted by a sheikh, and it features only the very finest fighters in the world across a multitude of modalities, including wrestling, MMA, judo, sambo, jiu jitsu, among others. To say that Vinny is a seriously in demand fighter would be somewhat of an understatement.
